Nigeria: Hundreds Flock to Sunday Mass Despite Terrorist Attack
Catholic Culture ^ | 3/19/14

More than 2,000 Catholics in northern Nigeria risked their lives to attend Mass last Sunday during an attack on their city by Boko Haram terrorists.

Father John Bakeni, who celebrated Mass in St. Patrick’s cathedral in Maiduguri, told Aid to the Church in Need that the building was “packed,” even after rocket-propelled grenades hit the city, killing hundreds of people. The priest said that some worshippers told him that if their lives were in danger, they would prefer to die in the church.

These people are very devoted, but its time to buy some assault rifles and take the Boko Haram bastard out when they arrive. Enough is enough!

MUSLIMS CONDUCT ‘HUMAN SACRIFICE’ ON VIDEO
‘Christians are killed in these very rituals every day’

http://www.wnd.com/2014/03/muslims-conduct-human-sacrifice-on-video/

Editor’s Note: EXTREME CAUTION ADVISED: The videos linked and embedded at the end of the story are extremely graphic, showing brutal executions.

Newly released videos show Muslims conducting “ritual human sacrifices” by slitting the throats of their victims or putting a bullet in their heads, according to researcher Walid Shoebat, a former member of the Palestine Liberation Organization who converted to Christianity.

Shoebat’s report includes several videos of ritual sacrifices. He noted the speaker in one video uses the term Qurban just before gunfire erupts and men lined up in a row fall to the floor one by one. Shoebat explained that the Arabic term “can only signify a sacrifice, which indicates that the filmed slaughter is nothing but a ritual human sacrifice.”

Another video shows the throat of the “sacrifice” being slit with a knife.

“Christians are being killed in these very rituals every day, and the bloodshed will not stop. We must work together to rescue them,” Shoebat said.

He has been working with a Syrian Orthodox nun, Sister Hatune Dogan, to assist persecuted Christians in Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Turkey.

“For over a year now we have been writing and warning the world on both the realities and the revival of Islamic human sacrifice,” he said. “Though Islam is a Christian heresy, its pagan roots and elements cannot be ignored, which is why I prefer to call Muslims pagan heretics, or heretical pagans.”
